Personal comments:
Greece is a motorhomer's paradise, with the option to park by a different beach each night... for free! The only issue that we had was finding places to empty our toilet, but if you schedule in one or two campsite stops, that solves the problem.
There is so much to see; the 10 days that we had here just weren't long enough. The highlight for us was probably Meteora; monasteries "suspended in the air"... or one of the many beaches we stayed next to in the south of the country... or maybe the beach we stayed next to near Thessaloniki...? We love Greece!
